Women In International Security Australia (WIIS-A) is a registered charity affiliated with Women in International Security (WIIS) – the premier organisation in the world dedicated to advancing the leadership and professional development of women in the field of international peace and security.

Since the founding of WIIS in 1987, women have advanced to increasingly important roles in the field of international security. There are new and expanding opportunities for women’s participation globally, as women are present in greater numbers in foreign and defence affairs and now occupy important positions in governments around the world. In recent years, the international community has recognised the important contributions of women to peace and security and has made commitments to include women in peace and security decision-making at all levels. But equal representation of women is not yet a reality, especially at senior levels of policymaking.
